Beginning with RayForce, followed by RayStorm and RayCrisis, the Ray series' lock-on laser mechanics, Tamayo's (of sound team Zuntata) beautiful, but also intensely fantastical soundscape, and a story and worldview imparted almost exclusively through gameplay, all contributed to high placings in legendary arcade games magazine Gamest's annual Best Video Game Music awards.

Now the Ray series is back, and locking onto the Steam Awards with original and arranged soundtracks available for all 3 titles! The retro wizards at developer M2 even added an authentic Japanese arcade background track recorded at retro mecca Hey! in Tokyo, for that authentic arcade feel!



So what are you waiting for? Lock-on to that vote button now!

PS: If you can't get enough RayForce musical goodness, DariusBurst CS has you covered with the RayForce DLC, featuring arranged tracks by Michiru Yamane!

Thanks to everyone who tested the beta branch release (see here), the updates are now live in the main branch.

Note: there are no updates to the game/s itself and, while it fixes the majority of issues reported, we are still looking into some outlying reports.

We hope you enjoy locking-on to portable shooting fun!

We're currently testing a fix for the game on Steam Deck via a beta branch from 9/Nov to 17/Nov.
If you have a Steam Deck and would like to participate, the details are below.
Right-click on Ray'Z Arcade Chronology from the library page and select "Properties", then select the "BETAS" tab, and enter the password "vercingetorix".

We've checked all 3 titles, but RayCrisis has numerous stages and we need brave pilots to fly into battle!
So, if you notice any issues while playing, please let us know in this thread.

We’ve seen multiple that the game doesn’t boot, or is unstable on SteamDeck and are currently looking into an update to address this.
We’ll keep you updated on progress, but in the meantime, please be advised the game may not function as intended (the standard Steam version is unaffected)

Fixed a visual glitch that occurred when the aspect ratio of the monitor was not 16:9.
